Comments by persons from diverse backgrounds on this initiative by Indiaart.
It is always refreshing to see artworks by children. They can see the world in a way that will surprise many accomplished artists. All that they need is freedom and exposure.

Has created several artworks for books for children.
There is an urgent need to revamp the way art education is addressed in our schools. The children need to be encouraged to express more.

Comments from Parents
Art can express what words cannot. Artworks by my child have often helped me peep into the little mind. Indiaart's endeavour would help children to express themselves freely and convey their thoughts and sentiments through their art.

The Children's Art Exhibition, put up at the Nehru Centre to encourage and celebrate creative talent in children, was a brilliant initiative by India Art. It provided a very well deserved platform to children to express themselves, which in turn boosts up their self esteem, imagination and creativity. The show held at the gallery on Sunday, the 22 June, was extremely well organised; comprising of handing over of certificates to all the participants whose work was put up on display as also a very informative talk by senior artist, Mr Prabhakar Kolte. The online show of artwork by children is as beautiful, if not more...!! This gives reason to those who missed the physical show to not be disheartened.

The whole concept is very encouraging. The kids were very delighted and proud to have their paintings exhibited at the Nehru centre. Indiaart is providing a very good platform for these young artist without being judgemental.
